This study aims to produce an alternative sealant made out of Styrofoam and gasoline, and to compare its effectivity to the commercial one in terms of,
1.) duration of dryness (the time for sealant to dry)
2.) its adhesiveness and
3.) its water resistance
MATERIALS
500 ml of gasoline
Styrofoam
Commercial Sealant
two 4x4 galvanized iron
APPARATUS
2 clean container
If this study will be successful, then it would be of great help and contribution to the school and to the environment. People who are experiencing financial problems can benefit from this study because it is much cheaper and less expensive than the commercial sealant since the materials used in this alternative sealant are only recycled.
Prepare and gather the materials needed. Place the Styrofoam on a clean container. Cut it into smaller pieces. Next, pour the 500 ml gasoline, which is placed on the second container, into the first container with the Styrofoam on it. Mix the mixture and wait until it turns viscous.
Can Styrofoam and gasoline combined become a sealant? If so, does it have the same effects with the commercial sealant? These are the problems that the researchers would like to find out.
Styrofoam dissolves in organic solvents and gasoline is an example of such. Since gasoline is flammable, this causes the Styrofoam to melt, gradually turning it into a sealant after mixing. After thorough experimentation on this investigatory project, one can conclude that Styrofoam and gasoline combined will create an alternative sealant.
When polystyrene is heated above its glass transition temperature, it turns into liquid form. It becomes solid again when it cools off. Since gasoline is flammable, this causes the Styrofoam to melt, turning it into a sealant. After thorough experimentation on this investigatory project, one can conclude that Styrofoam and gasoline combined will become a sealant.
The next researchers can test whether the product is flame resistant and to also use other types of gasoline aside from the Special XCS.
